What Are the Pros and Cons of Latisse for Health Care Providers

What Are the Pros and Cons of Latisse for Health Care Providers

A: Latisse - what value to health care provider

I'm confused by your question, but will answer with three perspectives.

For consumers, Latisse has the advantage of being the only eye lash product that is FDA approved with the attendant required clinical studies regarding safety and actual effectiveness. It is a simple use product with few side effects, the most common being some transient redness or slight itching. The big pro is longer, lusher lashes.

For health care providers who prescribe Latisse, there is a moderate profit in offering a solution to patients who have sparse eyelashes so they feel more comfortable with their appearance. Like many RX products intended to approve appearance, Latisse is not covered (for the most part) by insurance and as such becomes a retail product that is dispensed in the office.

From a third persepctive, if you are a health care provider and personally use Latisse, you will likely notice that your patients remark on your beautiful lashes.

No Results After 16 Weeks of Using Latisse?

I have used latisse for exactly 16 weeks but there are barely any results, i see no difference to my thin short eyelashes. My mother-in-law and i started at the same time and her eyelashes are HUGE, thick, and dramatic. why didn't we get the same results? I also forgot to use it a couple of nights last month and almost a week in a row the month before. Could missing my dose affected the growing process?

A: Latisse Not Working?

So sorry to hear that Latisse is not working for you.  We haven't had a patient yet in our office who hasn't responded to Latisse (especially after 16 weeks)... You may want to call your doctor and see if the company would give you another bottle (maybe the first bottles were from a bad batch).  I believe it is very important to not skip treatments (especially in the beginning) to get good results so do your best to be consistent with the treatments.

How Long Can You Use Latisse if It is Expired?

I got latisse, in bulk since i was moving out of the town, but it expired of Aug of 2010, How long can i use latisse after expiration ? i have 5 bottles left.

A: Expiratin of Latisse

Thank you for your question.  Medication bottles (including Latisse) have expiration dates on the bottles.  Although the product may still be effective after the expiration date, I  would probably want you to get new bottles of Latisse that were not expired.
